Will my puppy ever cheer up?

Your poor little boy obviously came from an unhealthy environment. Having parasites is bad enough but the medication to get rid of them is tough on the system. His little body is very stressed right now. I hope that parasites are the only problem you are going to be facing with this poor baby. Hopefully, after he has recovered from the parasites and the medication he will start to perk up. Keep feeding him often and try to get him to drink lots of fresh clean water.
Keep him warm, too.

I would definitely find out if they did a full blood work up. If they didn't I would have it done. I would rather be safe then sorry. Make sure that it is only the worms. Once that is all checked and if it is only the worms then once he gets rid of them he will be feeling better. Also the stress of leaving his family.

One thing you can do is they have these little puppies at Petsmart. You put them in the microwave and heat up. Gives him a feeling he is laying next to a sibling. Or you can just use a hot water bottle covered with a towel.

Did the breeder give you a blanket or towel? It will have the siblings scent on it. Everyone that is looking for pups, should ask if they do it.. And if they don't, give one to the breeder.

A warmed blanket or a snuggle nest with a stuffy from an infants department that makes heart beat soubds is very effect in both comforting a puppy and for crate training.
